I have a lot of bookmarks, organised into folders of multiple levels. Every time I use Firefox, the computer becomes unresponsive after some time, even without invoking HUD. I see 100% CPU usage, most of it consumed by firefox and hud-service. This happens the same way to my 64-bit Ubuntu installation on my desktop and the 32-bit on my laptop.
In my opinion, that's a critical bug (and I feel very sorry to see it categorised as "low"), as it prohibits me (and anyone else in the same situation as me) from using my computer. I don't want to use another browser, neither get rid of my (through many years collected and organised) bookmarks. I prefer to switch to another distribution that doesn't have that ugly bug and doesn't make my computer completely useless, however much I love Ubuntu. Please, fix that bug. In the first place, you could try not indexing the bookmarks through HUD. One can access their bookmarks through Firefox's awesome bar itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005174 Title: HUD Service high CPU usage with Firefox Status in The Application Menu: Confirmed Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “indicator-appmenu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When using HUD to access Firefox menus, it will use a high amount of CPU (around 70%), even after Firefox is closed. It looks like its trying to index Firefox menus (speacially the bookmarks menu, that has a lot of entries). Steps to reproduce: - You need a Firefox install with hundreds of bookmarks. - Start Firefox - Start the Hud and try to search a item that it's on your bookmarks menu. - See the high CPU usage of unity-pane-service and hud-service.
